Join us for a Friday Night Salon with Lama Rod Owens, a Buddhist Lama and intersectional thought leader as he shares a guide for those who would dream a more just, ethical world into being.
Girls Write Now and NaNoWriMo cordially invite you to an evening filled mystery, murder, and a touch of magic. In this Friday Night Salon, we will be talking about writing mysteries, crafting mysteries alongside other genres like fantasy and historical fiction, and how to execute the perfect (fictional) murder.
In this workshop, we will focus on the skill of rhyming in spoken word poetry. Participants will be presented with various writing prompts that challenge their rhyming skills. A number of literary devices will also be discussed, such as, alliteration and wordplay.
